What are the main components of bronze?
Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin.Answer 2: Bronze is a general term describing alloys of copper, the most common type of Bronze today is an alloy of copper and tin (often lead or other materials are added too to improve quality).In the early Bronze Age Bronze made with Copper and Arsenic was the most common type.
Why did people mine copper in the copper age?
Because copper is relatively easy to smelt.
How did tin make copper more useful?
Copper, when combined with some tin, will create an alloywe know as bronze. Bronze was an important alloy (the first one discovered), and a whole age of civilization was named after it!
What year was copper popular?
Copper was used by humans from the Bronze Age.
What is a copper patina?
A copper patina is a tarnish that forms on top of copper. This can happen because of age and oxidation that helps date materials or artifacts. Usually a patina refers to showing age on something.
Is copper an ancient discovery?
Yes. The discovery of copper and tin, and of their ability to form a useful alloy, heralded the Bronze Age; and bronze alloys are still very important today.
What has the author Seth Balasunder written?
Seth Balasunder has written: 'Constitution and age hardening properties of Cu-Zr alloys' -- subject(s): Zirconium alloys, Copper alloys
Why was the Copper Age important?
Originally defined as a transitional period between the Neolithic Age and the Bronze Age, the Copper Age (or Chalcolithic Age, or Eneolithic Age) is now regarded to be part of the Bronze Age because it is characterized by the use of metals. It was during this time period that early metallurgists found that the addition of tin to copper produced the harder metal, bronze.
What non ferrous alloys were used by pre Iron Age metalworkers?
Bronze and brass. Bronze is made from copper and tin. Brass is made with copper and zinc

What was the first metal to be used in vedic age?
copper
Did the Bronze Age come before the Copper Age?
Yes because bronze is made of copper so copper was around before bronze
Why are no periods of history called the Brass Age or the Aluminum Age?
Early in the Bronze Age, there was a period some people call the Copper Age. This was a time when the alloys of copper were undergoing experiment, and when brass and bronze were developed. So a brass age would have been the Copper Age or the Early Bronze Age, and the name was simply not needed. (Besides, how many people know the difference between brass and bronze offhand?) Aluminum never had an age of its own because it never really dominated a time period. Aluminum has been only recently used, and was not even known to exist as a metal until it was first extracted in the 1820's. For a long time, it was more expensive than gold, and it is said that Emperor Louis Napoleon III liked to show off the fact that he owned a table service with aluminum forks and spoons. It was not commonly seen until the 20th century, just as plastics were being introduced. Even today, aluminum is rather expensive for many projects. Aluminum engine blocks, for example, are less common than iron.
